Five Ways To Wear A Ceramic Watch!

By Disneyrollergirl on November 21, 2011 Tweet

For a design that hasn’t been around long, the ceramic watch is certainly very popular. What’s its appeal? I’d say it’s a mix of practicality (most ceramic watches are lightweight and scratch resistant) and versatility. The general look is sporty yet by playing with colours and decorative details, a ceramic watch can work for any number of situations. Not all ‘ceramic’ watches are actually ceramic. Chanel was one of the first brands to produce a ceramic watch with its iconic J12, but some of the less expensive versions achieve the look with shiny, durable acrylic. Check out our favourite ceramic watches and five ways to wear them.

MASCULINE METALLIC

Chanel’s titanium J12 watch is just anonymous enough to be work-appropriate but the style of watch is far from dull. It’s actually a unisex watch so will look equally good on women who like a powerful, handsome look.

BRIGHT FOR EVENING

Colour-pop shades are still going strong in all areas of fashion, not least watches. If you work in a super-corporate environment you may feel you stand out too much in a statement colour, in which case, save it for evenings. ToyWatch’s oversized ceramic-style watches look especially bold in punchy shades when teamed with equally colourful cocktail dresses.

WORK-APPROPRIATE WHITE

A gleaming white watch is a versatile option for elevating a working woman's wardrobe. Don’t think the white ceramic watch is strictly for summer. It’s so not! In fact, the graphic impact of an optic white Michael Kors watch really pops against grey and black, and of course, being a neutral, white will also stand out against brights and denim.

JEWELLED FOR COCKTAIL-WEAR

The beauty of the ceramic watch is all the clever add-ons designers have incorporated. In particular, a dusting of sparkles gives the sporty styling a luxe edge that is extremely popular. DKNY’s elegant Ceramix watch marries art deco bling with modern-day simplicity at a non-wincing price, while TAG Heuer’s Formula 1 watch contrasts 120 diamonds with a silver and white ceramic bracelet.

CASUAL CLASSICS

For men who like things casual but refined, you can’t beat a classic black watch. Armani’s Ceramica watch is simple yet functional and equally at home with shirts, T-shirts, sweatshirts or knitwear. At £429 it’s an affordable investment.
